The Joker
I’m going to start by saying that 1. I am not a big DC comics fan and 2. I was never a He-Man fan. So logically, the combination of the two is something that I should not like. But Funko has pulled off an interesting re-imagining of the DC universe with their Primal Age line, and it’s done so well that you can’t help but like it, even just a little. Sure, some characters are more successful than others, but when you get them all together, and throw in a playset and battle animals, the whole thing is an 80s kid’s dream come true.
You can get the entire DC Primal Age line at Amazon.com
Each Primal Age figure comes on a blister card that is not unique to the figure, and is not resealable, so better off just opening them!
I’m not a big Joker fan in the first place, but like Batman, I feel that they didn’t go far enough to make this figure really exciting. It’s well made, and I like the little details like the banana on the chest strap, but I feel they could have done more.
The Joker comes with two weapons, aside from the unremovable daggers on his belt. The axe is a bit simple, and the shield has a Bruce Timm-esque Joker design on the side.
Again, it’s fine, but I feel it could have gone farther with the concept. The sculpt is nice with nice details like the stitching of the fabric in the boots. Also, The Joker’s legs were a little loose out of the package.
Thanks again to Funko for the review sample.
